Electron attachment to uracil was investigated by applying time-resolved photoelectron imaging to iodide-uracil (I(-)U) complexes. In these studies, an ultraviolet pump pulse initiated charge transfer from the iodide to the uracil, and the resulting dynamics of the uracil temporary negative ion were probed. Five different excitation energies were used, 4.00 eV, 4.07 eV, 4.14 eV, 4.21 eV, and 4....

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease linked with genetic factors as well as with environmental triggers, such as virus infections, but the aetiology is still unclear. The authors analysed serum from autoantibody-positive (n=50) and autoantibody-negative (n=50) schoolchildren as well as children newly diagnosed with T1D (n=47; time from diagnosis, median 5 days, interquartile range 1-1...

The fragmentation of methanol, water, dimethyl ether, and acetic acid clusters upon photoionization with a single vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photon of 10.1 eV, 13.3 eV, or 17.5 eV energy is studied with mass spectrometry. The sodium-doping method is used as an independent approximate measure of the original cluster size distribution providing information on the degree of fragmentation upon VUV io...

With the rapid increase of Electric vehicle (EV) penetration, EV charging network become an important infrastructure. This paper studies configuration from a safety perspective. It is found that cascading failures may happen if one station out work and its load has to be redistributed neighboring stations. The failure model borrowed science area used in study, results show effects system parame...

BACKGROUND Human enteroviruses (EV) have been associated with severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) in South Africa. OBJECTIVES We aimed to describe the molecular epidemiology of EV serotypes among patients hospitalized with SARI during 2009-2011. PATIENTS/METHODS Study samples from patients were tested for the presence of enterovirus using a polymerase chain reaction assay. RESULTS 8.2...

The research field on extracellular vesicles (EV) has rapidly expanded in recent years due to the therapeutic potential of EV. Adipose tissue human mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) may be a suitable source for therapeutic EV. A major limitation in the field is the lack of standardization of the challenging techniques to isolate and characterize EV. The aim of our study was to incorporate new contro...

This paper presents a stochastic method for an electric vehicle (EV) aggregator to coordinate EV charging schedule considering uncertainty in EV departures. The EV aggregator is responsible for managing the charging schedule of EVs while participating in the electricity markets. The managed EV charging can provide additional revenues to the aggregator from regulation market participation and ch...

Enterovirus A89 (EV-A89) is a novel member of the EV-A species. To date, only one full-length genome sequence (the prototype strain) has been published. Here, we report the molecular identification and genomic characterization of a Chinese EV-A89 strain, KSYPH-TRMH22F/XJ/CHN/2011, isolated in 2011 from a contact of an acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) patient during AFP case surveillance in Xinjian...
